Man sentenced to 300 days in jail on meth charges

A man charged with the manufacture of methamphetamine following a November 2012 arrest in Elkton was sentenced to 300 days in the St. Johns County jail on Wednesday.

Bradley Jackson Morris was facing four drug-related charges but had one dropped. He pleaded no contest to two felonies (manufacture of methamphetamine and possession of a schedule II substance), and adjudication was withheld. He also entered a plea to misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia.

According to a release from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, deputies went to Morris’ home while looking for a car that was loaned to him but not returned. While at the residence, deputies reported finding chemicals associated with the manufacture of methamphetamine.

Court records show Morris was given credit for 208 days of time served. As part of his sentence, Morris is required to participate in the county’s S.I.G.H.T. drug rehabilitation program. Placement is also being sought at the Phoenix House rehabilitation facility. He will be on drug offender probation for three years.

What must the cops who arrested this guy think? 300 days for making and distributing a chemical like meth? Something that will really mess up a person's life? Addiction, and all the bad things that go along with the drug...... 300 days?? Really?

I have sat here and read each one of your comments and have tryed not to respond to your ignorance but I just can't help myself. You have no idea who this person is or where he comes from. You have no idea of his situation and have no right to judge him. He is a human being just like you and your family. People make mistakes, that is what life is all about. Making mistakes and learning from them. If I had to guess I would say that your family and friends have problems too. Everyone has problems in their life! Do you think his family wants to read these comments? If that was your brother or son with their face plasted all over the dang paper, the last thing you would want to read is some selfish and inconsiderate idiot making foolish comments. Some people really have no idea how their words and actions can really affect someone or their loved ones. Please keep all your negative comments to yourself or at least have the heart not to post them online for his family and friends to read.
